Stockholm eateries and cafes, across all price categories, now have a worldwide reputation for culinary quality and creativity. Stockholm restaurants, cafes and eating establishments are, of course, gay-friendly and the most popular ones are Babs Kök & Bar, Chokladkoppen, Copacabana, Göken Restaurang & Bar, Momma, Mälarpaviljongen, Roxy and Torget.
Chokladkoppen
Beautiful small café in the heart of Old Town, with outdoor seating summertime. Here you find flyers and tickets to gay and lesbian events and parties
MälarPaviljongen
With its fantastic location on the water front and surrounded by lush vegetation, this bar and restaurant is a hot spot during the summer months. It’s frequented not only by the gay crowd but also by surrounding neighbours and other Stockholmers. Open only in spring/ summer. The wooden pavilion can be rented for private dinners.
Torget
Every city has its gathering point, a kind of water hole, where you can go and get updated information on what’s hot, where to go and who to see. For the gay community, this place is Torget. Located in the Old Town and just by the subway, many people stop by here sometime during the night for either food or drinks.
Grill
Fabulous interior design that can not be described, you need to see it person.

Kungsholmen
This trendy and fashionable restaurant on the quay of the island Kungsholmen offers a wide range of dishes thanks to the seven different kitchens available. Although it is a hot spot the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. In the summertime you can enjoy a drink on the dock floating on the water and you can actually arrive by boat, should you like to.

Le Rouge
Le Rouge is reminiscent of a French restaurant from the turn of the 19th century: a lively, warm, luxurious setting à la Moulin Rouge, with vibrant colours, heavy textiles and plenty of period detail.
